This journey of self-discovery has been amazing. Also, very challenging. If you are a first time author, you know exactly what I mean. Even seasoned authors will attest to the amount of time and effort that goes into living in your purpose and how overwhelming it can be at times. For some it’s all about the fame and glory, if that’s all you’re in it for that’s fine. As for me, I have a different agenda and if fame and glory, riches and wealth come with it, that was a part of my destiny all along.

I’m so glad that I decided to walk out in faith although I almost didn’t because of fear of failure or not being perfect. Every post I share with you has been about my growth as an individual and I hope that my experiences in life will shed light on the power of believing in yourself, and persevering through uncertainty.

It’s been a long day and now I’m ready for some relaxation. So, I thought I’d type a few words here and call it a night. Look for my next few articles where I discuss some things I learned from self-publishing. Like whether it’s a good idea to use a vanity publisher or not and what to look out for if you do.

Greetings! The last time I published a post was in July during the summer months when there were flowers blooming, insects buzzing, and the sun beaming down relentlessly on us. My how time flies. That was three months ago. So, let’s catch up.

My previous post was all about lights, camera, and action. Well, I participated in a Mics, Camera, Action seminar since, and it was packed with information on building wealth, running a business, and delivering your best to your clientele. Awesomeness is what I’d like to call that group of women (oh, and one man.) 🙂 I wasn’t feeling my best for about a month due to a neck injury that had me laid up in bed. But through physical therapy, and numerous doctor visits, I’m back up on my feet and working again. Talk about being grateful- that I am! When I became incapacitated, I appreciated the little things that many take for granted- you know, the ability to walk up straight, and run, have feeling in your fingers and full range of motion in your arms and neck without pain. Now that I have regained the use of my limbs, I’m ready to get back to work. Health equals wealth, indeed.

But wait a minute- I look around and see that the season has changed- thus the title of this blog post, “Where have all the flowers gone?” It’s fall, one of my favorite seasons- a time to let go of the old and cuddle up for the winter before spring brings in the new and all over again.

Well, that’s what’s been happening in my world. Hope everyone is feeling well and getting ready for the holidays.While I had some time off- I read a few books:

The Magic by Rhonda Byrne

Killer Genius by Steven Van Patten

The Book of 11:11 Quotes by Ralph Smart

Excellent reading material, a combination of mystery, knowledge, and inspiration. Just what my soul needed.

During my time away, I’ve finally connected with a publishing consultant and team to help with the final draft to be released by December 2015. Just in time to help keep friends and family on track with their personal budgets for the holidays!
